Hi,

This might be a strange question, but how much adjustability do you have in a mk1 Focus? Is it just front tracking or can you adjust more than that?

Deciding whether or not to keep mine. It's only a 1.6 Zetec (or a 1.6 Silver technically) but it's relatively low mileage and the suspension still feels tight, yet somehow it seems a bit more inert than the others I've driven. I'm contemplating going somewhere for a proper four wheel alignment, but wasn't sure if it was worth it?

I don't think there's much adjustment at the rear, I had a full 4 wheel setup on a hunter machine on my 1.8 zetec in Bootle and they adjusted a lot. I can't remember too well though, have you checked the FFOC? (If you can bear the chavs)

Only front toe is adjustable, but there are plenty of aftermarket kits available if you want more adjustability.

The rear toe is also adjustable via eccentric bolts on the rear wishbones although they often seize in the bush so can be a pita to do smile
